  • Patent number: 10381474
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes a substrate, a main body and an electrode unit. The main body includes an active portion, an edge termination portion surrounding the active portion, and an insulating layer disposed on the edge termination portion. The edge termination portion includes a first-type semiconductor region, and a plurality of spaced-apart second-type semiconductor segments distributed in the first-type semiconductor region and arranged at intervals along a Y-direction directing from the insulating layer toward the substrate, and an X-direction directing from the active portion toward the edge termination portion. The electrode unit includes a first electrode and a second electrode.

  • Patent number: 9455339
    Abstract: A high voltage (HV) device and method for manufacturing the same are provided, at least comprising a substrate, an insulation formed on the substrate, a deep well formed in the insulation, an air layer formed in the insulation and disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the deep well. A bottom surface of the deep well is spaced apart from the substrate. Also, the air layer, interposed between the deep well and the substrate, is spaced apart from the substrate. In one embodiment, an air layer further communicates with an atmosphere outside the HV device, which facilitates heat dissipation.

  • Patent number: 8288150
    Abstract: A method for breaking the cell walls of microalgae includes cultivating microbes in a cultivating liquid, adding microalgae into the cultivating liquid to mix with the microbes, releasing a hydrolysis ferment from the microbes, hydrolyzing cell walls of the microalgae by the hydrolysis ferment of the microbes to decompose the cell walls of the microalgae into saccharide, and removing the microalgae from the cultivating liquid. Thus, the microbes release the hydrolysis ferment after the microalgae touch the microbes so as to hydrolyze and decompose the cell walls of the microalgae in a moderate manner without breaking the contents of the microalgae so that the contents of the microalgae can be released, absorbed and used completely.

  • Publication number: 20110312023
    Abstract: An integrated technology of algae bio-diesel and algae ferment reuse includes providing algae, placing the algae into an optical reactor to grow the algae into rich algae, abstracting the rich algae to form abstracted algae and fat, placing the abstracted algae into a ferment tank so that the abstracted algae are decomposed and fermented to form a fermented substance and a fermented liquid, and making the fermented substance and the fermented liquid into a by-product. Thus, the algae produce carbon dioxide during the fermenting process, so that the carbon dioxide produced by the abstracted algae in the ferment tank is supplied to the algae in the optical reactor to form a breathing cycle between the optical reactor and the ferment tank so as to promote the growth of the algae simultaneously.
